Public Works SF

What you need to know

Public Works is an electronic music venue on Erie Street, a short side street off Mission near 14th, with two spaces: a main concrete-floor room with a soundsystem tuned for bass-heavy music, and an upstairs loft for smaller events.

What to Expect

The booking focuses on house, techno, bass music, and underground electronic, with weekend nights the main event and a mix of local DJs and touring artists. The soundsystem is the room’s defining feature. The patio off the side is the main social space outside the dance floor. Weeknight events include live bands and comedy. Cover ranges from $10 to $30, weekend nights often run 10pm to 3 or 4am, and it’s worth bringing cash for coat check.

Getting There

16th Street Mission BART is about a 10-minute walk. The 14 Mission and 49 Van Ness/Mission run nearby. Late-night transit is limited, so most attendees use rideshare out.
